About Find A Market

Find A Market is a search tool for craft fairs, art shows, farmers markets, festivals and flea markets. It is built for three groups of people: the vendors who sell at them, the organizers who run them, and the shoppers who go because of the makers they love.

Why it exists

I'm Tom, and I sell at markets myself (Stoned Immaculate: rocks, crystals and jewelry). Choosing which shows to apply to shouldn't come down to guesswork. Is the date right, is the application still open, will the crowd actually buy what I make? Find A Market puts those answers in one place, with ratings from vendors who have worked each show.

How results are ordered

Listings aren't for sale here. An organizer's plan has no effect on where their event shows up, and I don't take a cut of booth fees: organizers choose how they collect their own fees. Results follow the sort you choose (distance, date, deadline or type), so the order is only ever about what's useful to you. How results and ratings work.

What you can do here

Vendors search by distance and event type, save the shows they're considering, get deadline reminders, track booth fees, supplies and sales, and read and leave ratings. Organizers claim and manage their own listings, take vendor applications, and reach the vendors who follow their event. Shoppers follow favorite vendors, see who's selling, and plan a market day. The Guide walks through all of it, and Pricing shows what each plan includes.

Where the listings come from

Listings are gathered from public sources, from organizers who claim their own events, and from flyers people send in. Some are checked against an official source and some aren't yet, so details can be incomplete or out of date. Always confirm dates, fees and requirements with the organizer before you apply or pay. If something is wrong or missing, tell us from the listing or from Settings, and we'll fix it.
